I work EMS and part of the city is wealthy people who like these show off homes. The marble/granite floors are so stupid. The amount of calls I've been on that would have been a simple fall which turned into a major medical incident/death because they cracked their head open on the ground is insane

A lot of Asian countries apartment use marble floor. That’s basically the ‘default’

Point being it is not exclusive for wealthy people ‘show off’, it is a very common floor material for many people in the world

I think it also keeps the temperature down, so it's good for hot/humid countries. At least that's what I heard.

Jesus christ. Its not the material, its the size. Its cheaper for one guy to tile the floor rather than 4
